Abstract:Introduction
Stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy (SRT) in the treatment of choroidal melanoma (CM) may be indicated if the tumour is located close to the optic nerve or is unsuitable for a radiotherapeutic plaque. It is thought that the rate of visual decline and ocular sequelae with SRT is influenced by dose and location of radiation in relation to important visual structures. This study therefore aimed to look at these prognoses with respect to localisation and dose of radiation when treatment of CM with … Show more
